BATON ROUGE – Students on University of 青涩直播 System campuses are hosting service projects and sponsoring drives over the next two weeks in support of nonprofit organizations in their communities.

Each year the new Student Government Association Presidents who make up the 青涩直播System’s Student Advisory Council commit to a service-learning project. This year, leaders identified the weeks of September 21 and September 28 as Collections Weeks.

“Our goal is to let our communities know we’re here to support them,” said 青涩直播System student board member Maggie Brakeville of 青涩直播 Tech. “Everyone can give something. Even if it’s a can of soup.”
